Greetings from Pittsburgh. My son had to work yesterday getting off at 6:30 am. He took some time to sleep and then we got together. Had dinner, went to the shopping mall, figured out how to artfully dance around the emotional landmines that are ever present in our conversations. He

52 pickup…….
I awoke in a somber mood this morning, slightly groggy, and not wanting to shed the blanket for the shower. The little voice inside me thought told it was time to get up. It also reminded me that today was the 52nd anniversary of my birth……… There once was a

For the life of me, I do not understand those folks, like me who are retired from the military, who complain about having to choose their clothes each day. I love it-well most of it anyway. I especially love the fact that I can pack lighter for business trips now-than
Continue readingThe best laid plans …always go astray.
And in the process scare the stuffing out of me and the S.O.-as well as my sister and my father. Yesterday started well enough. We had decided that it might be a good idea to get out of the house. The S.O. wanted to get deals on Christmas decorations and

While I was gone, my Amazon order came! (It was supposed to have been here before we left). Besides buying this book: Which I have been meaning to read for a while now-and has applicability to the country’s current situation. There were also two CD’s for the S.O. and finally,

You always pay for it in the end………… So there we were, sitting in the lounge at Dulles minding our business. So we moved on out to our gate. It too was something of a hike. Got to the gate-we were unable to get seats together-could not get it done.

Waxing nostalgic…… Because while I was drinking beer, getting quietly buzzed, doing my best to ignore the S.O.’s whining- watching the Phillies almost blow a three run lead- Spike was here: Oh, and btw, last night was the Lan Kwai Fong Carnival. LKF was mobbed, as was Cavern Club. So

Another day another 600 points. So much for building up my war chest to return to Nihon. I wish I knew what to do about that. The advice to not panic is not working at this point. However, today was a good day. On the way home via Philly airport,
Continue readingBoxes and more boxes……
Not trying to be anti-social, but we have been busy unpacking box after box-and I have been dealing with the S.O. in tears as one of her prize hibachis and or plates comes out of a box in pieces. It takes time to sort though the baggage of one’s life-properly
